Go lower to the eye level if you able to do so in future.

Keep it up. Thanks for sharing!

p/s: Can post a bigger image? 400x600 would be ideal.

No fix rule... some take using tripod, some don't....as long as you get the effect you want, I suppose it don't matter.

Personally, 99% of my shots are taken handheld....the OIS on your camera would help that very much.

To me, a monopod or a tripod will be with me when out for shooting. As tchuanye mentioned, there is no rule, it is very much depends on your model if she is willing to post for you. If yes, tripod, no? monopod or handhold with best stability like leaning onto a wall, tree,... or brace ur elbow onto the floor...etc No fix rule.

Know the sweet point of your exposure setting when handholding. If f8, 1/125s is your best to handhold, try not to go lower than this...etc.

Shoot more and you will learn from that.
